Goldman Sachs' 10, 000 Women initiative comes to India

23 Aug 2011

The Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad has been approached by global investment bank Goldman Sachs to launch its much-hyped 10,000 Women initiative in India. This global initiative aims to help under-served women entrepreneurs in receiving business and management education. The premise is that partnerships between education, development, and business experts can help bring about significant change through improved business education for women entrepreneurs. In India, Goldman Sachs and ISB will provide world class business education to selected participants to help them grow their businesses.

The number of women entrepreneurs selected for training will be minimum 35, but not more than 40. Only five participants from outside Hyderabad will be trained. For these five outstation participants, boarding and lodging on all programme teaching days will be provided free.

The programme includes 19 days of classroom instruction interspersed by on-the-job application and mentoring support. It is spread over three months.

It is expected that by the end of the programme, the women entrepreneurs will be able to bridge the gap of a formal management education, understand the various functions that drive business, strengthen their business by refining their business model and move to a high growth phase and gear up to meet the challenges of growing competition and complexity.

Coke Nation

The news that Indians consume far less aerated beverages each year than their neighbours in Pakistan and China could be interpreted differently. In comparison to per capita annual consumption of 39 and 21 bottles of aerated drinks in China and Pakistan respectively, average Indian drinks just about 14 bottles in a year. For Coca-Cola this means a serious job at hand for which the company has announced an advertisement budget of $5 billion. For the company, economic growth of a country and its peoples' thirst for aerated beverages is directly coorelated.

Coca-Cola doesn't consider 'negative' publicity for cola behind poor consumption of the aerated beverage in India. As per its books, brand Coca-Cola has registered consecutive growth for past 27 quarters and has been a leader with a brand volume of 30 per cent. For Coca-Cola the target is to turn it into a 'Coke Nation', on the lines of Mexico where per capita annual consumption is 745 bottles..Whether Indian consumer exercises restraint in gulping the drink whose health consequences are all but known, the flipside to the story is that the state governments are falling prey to Coca-Cola's investment plans?

Waste Appetite

The clock has turned full circle! After dumping industrial and toxic trash in the developing world all these years, Europe is now shopping for garbage to keep its cities, schools and homes heated. What better place than the developing world to shop for garbage! Reports indicate that northern Europe needs more than 700 million tons of trash to keep its waste-to-energy plants running. Most of its current demand is either domestically met or from garbage shipped from southern Europe.Yet, the demand is far more than what neighboring countries can spare after meeting their domestic needs.

As more waste incinerators are being built in Sweden, Norway, Austria and Germany to meet the growing demand for heating public places, these countries are left with two options - either encourage households to produce more trash or else import garbage from across the world. For sure, it is easy to import than to produce! A company in England is already shipping some 1,000 tons of garbage to keep its systems running. Since incinerators have cornered environmental controversy in India and for rightful reasons, there exists an opportunity to explore feasibility of exporting as much as 109,589 tonnes of garbage that piles our streets on a daily basis.

Sustained pollution of major rivers; continuous decline in groundwater reserves; priority allocation to non-consumptive sectors; and, growing disparity in water distribution only indicates that the worst is still to come!..
